A forum made to provide challenges for HP fanfiction writers who need inspiration, a cure for writers block or just want a challenge! We're all really really nice, not to mention insane 0.0, so come on in and join the fun! :D

Ever wondered what drove someone to act a certain way or say something stupid/horrifying/amazing/sweet/etc.? Well, XxrandomxX has an idea! Based on her oneshot love, love, love..., this challenge is to get you to write about the following HP charries and see how you construe their reasons for love. As Amy said, "Because if someone thought that love makes you perfect and happy, they should be shipped to the insane asylum immediately."

The challenge rules are as thus:

1) GIVE XxrandomxX (the amazing Amy) CREDIT FOR THIS! It's my challenge, but the ideas come from her, so credit both the challenge and her when you post! Thanks!

2) You can take as many as you like. Do with them what you will. You can even combine some of the characters! Drabbles, oneshots, multi-chap fic -do whatever you feel like!

3) You MAY combine this with another challenge in HPFC, as long as it's okay with that other challenge's creator. :)

5) Post the link to your story here when it's done, that way everyone can find it and enjoy it! (Can be any genre)

Other than that, my only note is...well, enjoy this. And I'll be editing this first post from time-to-time, adding charries as Amy or I see fit (or because of whatever we come up with!), so check this occasionally. I'll try and post other updates here-and-there in the topic, too, so you won't miss out! We'll be posting our ideas, too, but don't be intimidated! BE INSPIRED!!! (And if you're inspired by another entry here, give the author a little mention, too, 'kay? Let's all play nice now!) :D

1) Viktor Krum-Because Viktor knew that she'd come to him eventually, even if he had to wait forever for her.

2) Regulus Black-Because if you're in deep on one side and the person you love is on the other, where does that put you?

3) Seamus Finnigan-Because even though he'd thought the same things countless times before, and had bits and pieces of his heart chucked in the bin repeatedly, he just knew she was the one he was waiting for.

4) Lavender Brown-Because when people tell you that you make their world go round often enough, eventually you start to believe them.

5) Bill Weasley-Because love hadn't been enough to stop him from getting physically scarred, and he can't help but fear that he'll get emotionally scarred from it too.

6) Gabrielle Delacour-Because to her, love is artificial and beauty is the only thing worth believing in.

7) Neville Longbottom-Because if you just sit down and do what others tell you (like he did most of his life), then it can't be real love.

8) Hannah Abbott-Because if you truly loved someone, you'd want them to be happy.

9) Rose Weasley-Because if you just give up on love, then you weren't worthy of it to begin with.

10) Hugo Weasley-Because unlike his cousins who just seem to have everything right, all of his loves remain unrequited.

11) Lily Luna Potter-Because when you live in an extremely overprotective family, falling in love is an act of rebellion in itself.

12) Ronald Weasley-Because if he can't just get straight to the point and tell someone that he loves them, then he probably doesn't.

13) Louis Weasley-Because when the one you love isn't with you at the second, there isn't much else you can feel.

14) Ginny Weasley-Because when it comes down to it, it's the one emotion Harry doesn't allow himself to have, and if she tries really hard, she can almost feel like she completes him.

15) Draco Malfoy-Because ever since the war, all it's ever been for his family is climbing back up the social ladder, but suddenly that doesn't matter to him anymore…and he isn't quite sure what to make of that.

16) Fred Weasley-Because we all know that pulling on a girl's pigtail is the best way to her heart.

17) George Weasley-Because he was in love once, back when he allowed himself to feel.

Haha, sorry. I'm having some trouble with the formatting on the site. Yup, go right ahead and take her! Any specific questions? I hope to clear up some things as I edit that first post. Sorry for the trouble!

I'm already using a bunch of these characters in other stories, so can I just use the reasons in the stories I'm writing? It may take awhile, but I'd like to use the ones I can't tie in, too, for separate stories, or maybe a series of random drabbles. If that's okay.

so i'm doing Molly Weasley and i have to use the quote Because when the ones that you love are deliberately putting themselves into danger, isn't it necessary to yell a little bit of sense into them? as a reason why she does the things she does to her loved ones?

It's not necessarily a quote, per say... It's just that -the reason for her actions. It's her take on love. Check out the story it's from to see if Amy's note at the end clear up any other questions. I hope that helps!

Can we change the he's and she's to make them slash or whatever? For example, I have a good idea for the Sirius Black one, but it would be even better if it was with a guy, rather than a girl (though it could work with a girl)

EDIT: I'm going to be too tired on Sunday to come online, AND I'll be out of the house from lunch time 'til late, so I'm going to say this now... Happy birthday, Amy! (:

Well, I was wondering if I could use Aaralyn for my Reggie fic??? I wasn't sure if you wanted OCs in this? I've done a lot of Sirius&&Reggie fics lately, well two, but I'd like to give him some romance, lol.
